CURTAIN-POLE BRACKET.

SFEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 719,307, dated January 27, 1903.

Application filed April 3, 1902. Serial No. 101,147. (No 'model.)

To all whcmt it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES II. F. DAILY, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Herminie, in the county of Westmoreland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Pole Brackets, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in combination curtain and shade brackets, and has for its object the provision of novel means whereby a curtainpole may be easily adjusted to any desired position.

The present invention further aims to pro vide a curtain-holder that will form a locking engagement with the bracket and serve to retain the holder in a rigid position.

A still further object of my invention is to provide a device of this character that will be extremely simple in construction, strong, durable, comparatively inexpensive to manufacture, and highly GfllOlGDl] in its use.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and wherein like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views,in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved combination-bracket. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation thereof, the curtain-pole holder being removed. Fig. 3 is an under plan view of the curtain-pole holder.

In the drawings the reference-numeral 1 represents the bracket, comprising a horizontal and an inclined flat arm having their inner ends bent to form apertured lugs 2 2, which are adapted to receive suitable fastening means.

3 designates an upwardly-projecting ear, formed integral with one edge of the lower portion of the inclined fiat arm of the bracket and having its upper end provided with a vertical slot 4: to receive one end of the shaderoller. The horizontally-disposed arm of the bracket is provided with side flanges 5 5,

which are secured at their outer ends in the upper end of the said inclined arm. By this construction an opening is formed in the outer end of the bracket, the walls of said opening being formed by the upper end of the inclined arm of the bracket, the horizontal arm thereof, and the side flanges 5. The flanges 5 are each formed with a series of openings 6 to receive the outwardly-extending ends 7 of the spring-arms 8, forming the curtain-pole holder 9, the latter being formed of a single piece of wire, which is rounded at its forward end to receive the curtain-pole.

From the foregoing it will be obvious that in practice a pair of my improved brackets will be employed to support the shade-roller and curtain-pole, one bracket of which will be provided with a circular opening in its ear 3 in lieu of the slot 4E to receive the round end of the curtain-roller.

When it is desired to adjust the curtain pole holder,the spring-arms S are compressed, and may then be adjusted to any of the openings 6, and by releasing the same the end 7 will engage in the apertures.

The many advantages obtained by the use of my improved device will be readily apparent from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A device of the character described,comprising a pair of arms secured together at their outer ends and having their rear ends provided with apertured lugs, an apertured lug formed integral with the lower arm of the bracket, flanges formed on the edges of the upper arm, said flanges each provided with a series of openings, and a curtain-pole holder comprising spring-arms engaging the said openings.

2. In a combined curtain and shade fixture, the combination ofa bracket carrying an apertured lug,and downwardly-extending flanges having a series of openings formed therein, with spring-arms having oppositely-bent ends engaging in said openings, said spring-arms arm, and spring-arms arranged between the said flanges and engaging the apertures thereof, and having their forward ends curved to receive the curtain-pole.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES H. F. DAILY.
